Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this app if I have significant tremors?

Yes. The check-in button is intentionally large and requires only a single tap anywhere on it. No swiping, typing, or fine motor control needed.

What if I fall and can't reach my phone?

If you miss your scheduled check-in, your emergency contact is automatically alerted. This is your safety net for exactly these situations.

Can I add notes about my symptoms that day?

Yes. Optional notes let you log how you're feeling—useful for tracking 'on' and 'off' periods to share with your neurologist.

Does this replace my Parkinson's medical devices?

No. This is a family communication tool, not a medical device. Continue using DBS controllers, medication pumps, and other prescribed devices.

My father has Parkinson's and lives alone. Should he check in before or after taking his morning medication?

After medication is ideal. The morning dose typically takes 30-60 minutes to take effect. Checking in after confirms both that he is awake and that his medication routine is underway. If he cannot check in, it may indicate a problem with either.
